SEATTLE (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. reported a 37 percent jump in fourth-quarter
profits Thursday, citing strong sales across all its divisions, from servers
to its Xbox console and video games.
For the three months that ended June 30, the world's largest software maker
said net earnings climbed to $3.7 billion, or 34 cents a share, up from
$2.69 billion, or 25 cents, a share a year ago.
Revenues jumped 9 percent to $10.2 billion, up from, up from $9.3 billion a
year ago.
Results, which were released after the markets closed, included a a
stock-based compensation expense of 3 cents per share, legal expenses of 5
cents a share and a 9 cent per share tax benefit.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial predicted quarterly profits of 31 cents
a share, on revenue of $10.2 billion. Analysts' estimates did not factor in
the one-time charges.
Microsoft shares rose 25 cents to close at $26.44 on the New York Stock
Exchange, then dropped 51 cents in late trading. The shares have traded
between $23.82 and $30.20 over the past year.
For the coming fiscal year, which ends June 30, the Redmond-based company
said it expects to earn $18.3 billion to $18.8 billion, or $1.27 to $1.32 a
share, on revenue of $43.7 billion to $44.5 billion.
For the entire fiscal year, Microsoft reported earnings of $12.3 billion, or
$1.12 per share, up from $8.2 billion, or 75 cents a share, in fiscal 2004.
Revenue was $39.8 billion, up from $36.84 billion.
